Ultra-low power FPGA wins award for creativity in electronics

14 November 2007 Programmable Logic

The Actel IGLOO family, said to be the industry's lowest power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), was honoured with the EE Times Third Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for Ultimate Product of the Year for Logic, Interface and Programmable Logic. The Ultimate Product of the Year Award - awarded to the most significant products introduced in the last 12 months - is determined by large-scale peer review.

Featuring up to three million system gates, the 5 μW Flash-based IGLOO family is said to consume four times less static power than its nearest competitor and deliver more than five times the battery life of other PLDs in portable applications, setting a new bar for low power consumption. The low-power IGLOO family supports 1,2 V core operation and has several low power modes to optimise power consumption - the Flash*Freeze mode, a low-power active mode and a sleep mode. The devices feature up to 616 user I/Os, six phase-locked loops, 504 Kbits of RAM and 350 MHz performance in both commercial and industrial grades.
